Bright Sword Military System

Regarding the use of cotton clothes, some cadres disagreed, including Li Changfu.

Li Changfu responded to the headquarters in this way: "Chief, if we didn't ask you for this before, when our army was still a hundred battle regiment, if there were combat missions in winter, we would run a few laps, or march in a hurry. But now we It has been changed into a mechanized unit, and everyone is sitting on a half-track vehicle, and the half-track vehicle is still uncovered. When it starts to drive, the wind is like a 'whirling' to drill into the neck. It is so fast, but it is painful. No way!"

Then Li Changfu added: "Chief, we don't ask too much, one thousand sets, we can wear them for comrades who have missions..."

The chief pushed back without even thinking about it: "One thousand sets, do you know what a thousand sets of cotton-padded clothes mean to refugees? That is a thousand lives! Li Changfu, even if I am willing to approve these cotton-padded clothes, you and your subordinates Can you wear it? Other troops have volunteered to donate cotton coats, you are lucky! Come to me and ask for cotton coats!"

After the chief said this, Li Changfu didn't dare to speak anymore.

But Li Changfu was dissatisfied, because he felt that if the problem of cotton clothes affected the combat effectiveness of the troops and caused Yuncheng to lose, wouldn't it ultimately affect the lives of refugees?

So, isn't it also for the sake of refugees and even the lives of ordinary people to use cotton-padded clothes for mechanized troops?

But that cannot be said.

The Eighth Route Army is positioned as an army of the people, an army for the people and the country.

Therefore, whenever possible, the Eighth Route Army should put the interests of the people first.

This is not a simple calculation of combat power.

If it is simply counted as combat effectiveness...it must be given priority to supplying all the cotton clothes to the troops. Only when the soldiers do not starve or suffer from cold can they fight better on the battlefield.

Or on the battlefield, if the Eighth Route Army soldiers are calculated by combat power, they should not save the people: a well-trained soldier saves civilians who have no combat power and no combat experience, of course it is a subtraction in terms of combat power.

However, from a strategic perspective, the Eighth Route Army must do so.

Because this is the purpose of the Eighth Route Army, it is the mission of the Eighth Route Army, and it is the meaning of the existence of the Eighth Route Army.

To put it more simply, if the Eighth Route Army does not do this, that is, it prioritizes troops over civilians in the name of "combat power", then what is the difference between the Eighth Route Army and the stubborn army?

Isn't the stubborn army just using the anti-Japanese war as an excuse to squeeze the people in various ways?

If the Eighth Route Army does the same thing, it won't take long for the Eighth Route Army to lose the support of the people because of the damage to its overall image... This is the most deadly thing.

Conversely, if the Eighth Route Army did what it said, it would rather give priority to ensuring the food and clothing of the refugees than being cold or hungry.

Therefore, even if some soldiers were frozen to death and starved to death, there would still be tens of thousands of civilians who would enthusiastically join this army and stand with the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, the combat power has not been weakened, but has been doubled, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army will receive the support and support of the people no matter where they go.

This is the foundation of the Eighth Route Army, and it is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army can finally win.

Therefore, what the Chief Executive did was right.

Wang Xuexin had no objections, and neither did Li Yunlong.

It's just that Li Yunlong has no objection because the Independence Regiment has no shortage of cotton-padded clothes at all... The Independence Regiment itself has several looms. It's ready.

The chief knew this, and so did the other troops, but they had nothing to say.

Because this is just like what Li Yunlong said: "Hey, we call it 'do it yourself and have enough food and clothing'. I don't care about you farming and running mules and horse shops to make a fortune, and I don't envy you! Don't be jealous when I make cotton clothes, let's do it. Can people in cotton clothes freeze themselves? Isn’t that a joke!”

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. The agreed troops would take care of themselves, run mules and horse shops, and sell salt, and no one had ever handed over or distributed the extra money they earned to other troops!Why are you asking the independent regiment to hand over the cotton clothes at this moment?

Then the First Air Force and the Second Air Force also benefit from it.

Li Yunlong sent someone to distribute a set of cotton coats to the pilots of the two units.

Li Yunlong also said domineeringly: "The establishment of these two aviation teams is under our independent regiment, and I treat them equally!"

In fact, Li Yunlong was thinking in his heart that in the future, there will still be places where the aviation team is needed.

What is a cotton coat?

The aviation team can take care of them in the sky casually, and our independent group will make money!

Wang Xuexin received two cotton padded clothes... Li Yunlong also said this publicly: "Don't say that I, Lao Li, treat them differently, you have to think about it, who made the loom in our regiment? If there is no Xiaodongbei, You all have to be cold and hungry, so this is what I said, Xiao Dongbei, if you don’t agree, just come to me!"

So Wang Xuexin had three cotton-padded clothes in his hand: one was given by Zhang Wanhe. Although it was already tattered and had several patches sewn on it, Wang Xuexin was still reluctant to throw it away.

It is not easy to have a cotton coat these days, how could it be lost like this.

After receiving two sets of cotton-padded clothes, Wang Xuexin donated them without thinking... This is not because of Wang Xuexin's kindness, but because of the disparity between the two sets of cotton-padded clothes: for himself, the two sets of cotton-padded clothes are just a spare, but for the refugees But it is likely to be two lives.

As the chief said, when the time comes, even if he can stay, he can't stay with peace of mind.

The same is true of the pilots and staff at the airport, even the bear pilots, who donated their extra cotton clothes.

Seeing this scene, Captain Feradlov, the flight consultant, said to Wang Xuexin with emotion: "Comrade battalion commander, I envy you very much!"

"Envy us?" Wang Xuexin asked a little strangely: "What do you envy us for?"

Although Mao Xiong at this time was a bit broken in many aspects, it is an indisputable fact that the third largest country in the world (although the first day does not fall is not worthy of the name, but it is still number one after all), its military strength, technology, industry, etc., All of them are much stronger than Huaxia.

This should be Wang Xuexin's envy of Mao Xiong.

But now, Feradlov is envious of Huaxia.

Captain Feradlov raised his head towards the soldiers who were donating cotton coats, and said, "I envy you, you are spontaneous, without any compulsion. And we...you know it!"

Then Captain Feradlov dared not speak any further.

Wang Xuexin expressed his understanding, Mao Xiong had gone too far in this regard.

Because of this, talents like Alexei will leak into Wang Xuexin's hands.
